Chandrayaan 2 is the lunar exploration mission by "Indian Space Research Organisation". The mission was launched from the 'second launch pad' at the location 'Satish Dhawan Space Center' located in Sriharikota.

It consist of lunar orbitor, a lander and lunar rover named 'Pragyan'. The main purpose of this mission is to locate the amount of water available on moon at different location and also to discover the certain new region on moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Chandrayaan 2 was launched on July 22 from the same launch pad from which Chandrayaan 1 had taken off. Instead of using the outdated PSLV rocket used earlier, the spacecraft made use of the advanced Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III).

The spacecraft is expected to land on the Moon's on September 7, 2019. According to NASA, the Moon's polar craters have the Solar System's lowest temperature. It will be the first probe in the world which will land on the lunar south pole. The main mission objective is the exploration of lunar water near the polar region.

Also, ISRO plans to test the capabilities of its lunar rover named Pragyan. Weighing 27kg, the rover operates on solar power and travels at a speed of 1cm per second. It will continuously perform chemical analysis of the soil and send back to the lander (named Vikram), which will update the ground station.

It is expected that the rover will operate for 14 days but the duration may vary since Pragyan uses solar power to keep itself up.
